Butterscotch Pudding

Great recipe! I used light brown sugar and it turned out great. Mixing the eggs in first, with the dry ingredients produces a smooth blend, then slowly add milk. No lumps, and no egg not getting incorporated. Thanks!

This was really good for being so simple!! I just threw everything together in the order given (except the vanilla) and whisked it over medium heat. The only change I made was adding 1TBS of butter when I added the vanilla after removing it from the stove. The kids loved it!!

My husband and children love pudding, so I try to experiment with and try new pudding recipes. The other day hubby requested butterscotch, so I tried this one, and both he and I were a bit disappointed in it, mostly because it lacked the creamy texture that a pudding is supposed to have. Also, the flavor was very sweet, but not the characteristic butterscotch flavor I look for. When I realized the flavor was off, I added about 1/4 C butterscotch baking chips, which I happened to have. This made a huge difference in the flavor! I think this recipe can be made still better in a couple of ways. Next time I will use 3-4 T. of cornstarch as a thickener rather than flour, so that it is less like a roux and more like a pudding. Also, I think using about 3 egg yolks added after thickening (and removed from heat to avoid scrambling) will also improve the texture. All in all, I give this recipe 3 stars as is, and maybe next time I can make it 5!

Really good recipe. I followed one reviewer's advice and added the egg to the dry ingredients first. I also added a 1/2 stick of butter to make it a little richer. Super yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Good taste, but kind of a weird texture, but that may be my fault. I ate all of it though, good stuff. Comfort food at its best.

I followed the advice of two other reviewers. I added a Tbs of butter, and I also mixed the eggs in with the dry ingredients, then slowly added the milk. I also did all of my stirring with a wire wisk, which helped create a very smooth pudding. The consistancy was perfect! This is a very good pudding, but keep in mind it tastes more like brown sugar pudding, not butterscotch. I will be making it again though, because I love brown sugar!

Assertive! too-sweet, brown sugar flavor. Didn't have the silky in-the-mouth feel that I think is ideal in a pudding. I think this recipe is probably very homey and some would find it appealing, but alas, it's not one that I would make again. Thank you for the submission though. Generally, I do love old-timey flavors.

this was good but needed more flavor.

I was quite disappointed in the recipe. I certainly didn't have the traditional butterscotch flavor I was looking for (its more like brown sugar pudding) & its texture wasn't as smooth and creamy as I would have liked. I was looking forward to this one, but I won't be making it again.

Yum! I told my boyfriend I'd make him anything he wanted for Valentine's Day and he chose this. It was delicious and very easy. I used light brown sugar, but I'd definitely recommend using dark to add more flavor. Also, I cut back on the sugar by ~1/4 cup and still think I could have cut back more - it was tasty but very sweet.
